What ExOD can offer YOTs’ Provision of Numeracy & Literacy Qualificaitons In partnership with IcompassUK Ltd Courses in Life Skills –Employability, Sexual Health & Independent Living

The E+ Course teaches and tests 8 vital soft skills, expected by employers: Reliability Determination Responsibility Good communication Team working Honesty Punctuality Respect

What is involved in completing the E+ course ? The course covers all 8 sections (1-3 per hour); promoting empathy for employers through discussion, thought provoking choice options and specially designed scenarios. As with all icompassUK courses, it is computer based, engaging and tutor lead; classes can be from 1 to 50 per tutor. (all assessments are done individually).

Who is the E+ Course best suited for? School graduates and pre-graduates Disengaged young people Young offenders New employees Long term unemployed Prisoners (pre-release) Young entrepreneurs

“Young people can lack the necessary soft skills, such as communication, team working and customer service …" (Paul Sissions, Work Foundation report, Lost in Transition, June 2012 ) Can we trust all parents and teachers to be ‘soft skill’ coaches? Last month the Work Foundation released a report, Lost in Transition, which found that more than 450,000 NEETS have never had a regular job.

More information? For more information on how your organisation can deliver the E+ Course, please contact Or Phil Rowland at or What has been said about the E+ Course? “E+ was really good and I understand a lot more about what a manager would want from me.” (Young offender, Islington) “The E+ Course is a quick, easy to teach and very effective intervention for our NEET young people.” ( YOT Employment and Training Manager)
